That would be semantically different. The property is currently mandatory.
The above code would make it optional. This might work:

        if (dev_fwnode(&i2c->dev)) {
                ret = device_property_read_u32_array(...);
                ...
        }

Feel free to send another version of your patch.

Thanks,
